[stressedadfff]

You use the big words from the syllabus while answering the question to make you look smart lol

so talk about how people like Emma dont really accept the constricted victorian precepts surrounding them but its a necessity of their environment - hence it satirises the shortcomings in human behavior, rather than the reality/truths
- is that too bs or enough bs ughghgh

I actually don’t do Emma, but make sure your mentioning how the features of the text contribute to its textual integrity lol.

Aight heres another one for practice:

Seldom, very seldom, does complete truth belong to any human disclosure; seldom can it happen that something is not a little disguised, or a little mistaken.

How do misunderstandings in Jane Austen’s Emma function as a narrative device? In your response, refer to the quotation and your understanding of the novel, Emma.

tf do you say in your thesis

bru u can literally connect it to so many thingsss:
- the inability of emma to see the truth beyond appearances due to her preoccupation with class/status (and pair this with the value of prose fiction byi saying how this propels austen's moralistic commentary) e.g. how emma views mr. martin and miss bates versus how austen views them
- how the expression of truth is governed by strict social decorum which creates misunderstandings and artificial relationships in highbury e.g. knightley's confession of love, emma's inability to see the truth of jane and churchhill's relationship
- the truth of women and their identity was not considered as important as their marital status e.g. mrs elton versus miss bates

so... whats textual integrity

so... whats textual integrity

So you are looking at the unity of the text, its exploration of timeless and universal themes and hence how does the text’s exploration of these ideas and values result in ongoing critical engagement.

so... whats textual integrity

Basically this: The unity of a text; its coherent use of form and language to produce an integrated whole in terms of meaning and value.

oh so like if it asked us on the "endurance of a text"

for emma specifically, talk about- austen's moralistic instruction and criticisms of her regency society, austen's use of FID and omniscient narration to give us an insight into emma's psyche and most importantly the prose fiction form (bildungsroman novel...)

damn that sounds like state ranker words

Yes. Basically you need to have a personal interpretation of what makes the text great.

tf do you say in your thesis

I can give you an example of what an average and what an exemplar thesis would look like.

Consider the question "Politics illustrates the ultimate powerlessness of ordinary people. To what extent is this view represented in your prescribed text and one other related text of your own choosing?"

An average thesis would be something like "In Shakespeare's KHIV Part 1 and Zvyagintsev's Leviathan, the exploration of politics demonstrates the ultimate powerlessness of the common person".

See how that just answers the question by re-stating it?

However, an exemplar thesis would be something like "Politics is defined by the relationship between the powerful and the powerless, as the decisions of the few dictate the lives of the many. Power can only be wielded by those who have authority conferred on them by birth or by their fellows".

This shows the marker that you actually understand what the question is asking, and then of course, you could then reference the specific texts in the following sentence.

so if they ask about form could we base three paragraphs on that

 

[zizi2003_]
